As a huge fan of star wars lego sets this is one of my favorite. From what i remember there were a few discrepencies between the movie version and this but its almost perfect in my opinion. The price (when purchased years ago) was $50 which seemed a little high but it is a fairly large ship compared to the average size.

Characters:
Jango & boy Bobo Fett; As far as i know this is the only set these characters appeared in so pretty rare. As far as i know Jango was one of the first figures to have reversible face.

Ship:
If you cut the ship down the center it is symmetrical, but it still a blast to build. The wing guards can be a little difficult to stay on but other than that no complaints.

It is a pretty sweet set to have in your collection and is especially cool if you have 7143 (Jedi Starfighter w/ Obi Wan) to sit next to it.

I would recommend this to really anyone, kid, adult, collector.

As seen in Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Slave I was a ship on the moon prison of Ovoo IV, untill Jango busted in, stole it, and made it his own. I wanted the set mainly for Jango, as he's one of my favorite Bounty Hunters, (other ones Boba, of course) but young Boba and the ship really were awesome. The detail was nice and I liked the magnetic cargo hold. The storage holders for Jango's hair and customized twin Westar-34 pistols was really nice. the storge hold for the rockets made me laugh, and the bomb dropper was quite the touch. the two quad cannons are cool in space battle.It was well worth the wait!

I recently got this with both minifigs on ebay for just under £100 and as soon as i popped in the minifigs on the cockpit, i was very impressed.
In my opinion, this has the most functions, i even prefer it over the new one which has an rrp of £80! RIP OFF!
I bought this for about £90, and i understand the rrp was 44.99, this was long discontinued-and mine came with the minifigs! and im certain that the price was so high because of Jango's prescence, who we all know is very rare and sells for very high ammounts of money-some are even going for £40-50! In my opinion this is insane, but i do love Jango, and was prepared to pay that for him. Now, onto the magnificent set.

This has so many guns, secret compartments, the cockpit is the most detailed, ill start with the charges, located in the back of the slave 1, i was a little confused at first on how to drop the trans-orange minifigure heads out of the slave 1 in flying mode, but i soon figured out you're supposed to turn it to landing mode and flip the compartment and they drop out! God knows how many times ive lost them!
Theres also hidden guns, which you can pull out of the side of the ship. Most probably cant tell they're there, but my friend managed to guess theres atleast something behind the panels, and believe it or not, he actually knew they were probably guns or bombs! Spooky? or just a bad way of hiding guns. Luckily, lego's brains were still working back in 2002 and the stupid flickfire missiles did not exist back then! Bravo!
There are some rotating cannons at the top-not much to say-they move! and thats about it!
Right next to the cannons however, are two panels which you can open to reveal two rockets or possibly bombs(they look like rockets!But i could be wrong) and a...engine? Hyperdrive? Im guessing its an engine-but its TINY, i prefer to call it a hyperdrive, just so when people see it, they dont start giggling at my beautiful starship which is supposed to be very menacing! But anyways, on to one of my FAVOURITE parts, the prison cell! I just love it! genious invention, with a magnet too so you dont have to fiddle with attaching it to studs which is not very proffessional-or effective as jango would get blown to bits if he came out of the ship to re-attach the cell-it also makes a good escape pod!
The cockpit is very good-for the time, and the best one(sadly) out of all the slave 1's released, you can fit both figures(jango and boba) in the cockpit-staying true to the move of course! it rotates with the balancers(yes i did forget what they were called) as you turn the ship from landing to flying mode! Very clever! not really but hey! its still good!

Now for the....not so good parts of the ship, lets begin!
Well, one thing is that, it needs definetly more surface detailing, the new one has covered that already but c'mon lego! just because it was 2002 does not mean skipping out a few of those small grills to make the set more attractive to the human eye.
And number two-now this here is a really big fault and ive spent countless hours trying to fix this and make this look good! Why o why Lego did you make a gaping hole in the back of the ship? Its all messed up! Gah! Yes you can call it an entrance, but what kind of entrance on this planet has 2 cannons and a hole the size of a minifigure on the floor of it? This was clearly being lazy! Atleast add a flat plate to cover it up.
and lastly, the engines are a letdown, i mean, a couple of round bumps can barely make a car go 10mph, yet this is supposed to be a very fast bounty hunter starship that can go into hyperspace? Really? The 2006 vers had more detailed engines but, considering they improved it in 2006 and 2010, i forgive lego.

Overall: This is something you should buy, its great in all aspects, the cons are really just me being picky on this wonderful set on why they made some of the features quite weak-and silly! but overall-this gets a 5/5.

2002 was an excllent year for the Star Wars Lego collector. A new film had just been released, giving Lego another year of great new models, many of which included the new designs in brick and whole new range of colours. It was an exciting time, and with the release of the new film, the Lego Star Wars models were proving more popular than before.
One ship to enjoy this popularity was Jango Fett's Slave 1.

From looking at the box art, you could instantly see that this model was very different from the earlier one released in 2000. The box gave you a glimpse of what was inside - the new bricks, the authentic colours, the added details. What it didn't give away was any real hint of the model's size.
No doubt a lot of people would be comparing this model to the first Slave 1 and had a lot of questions that needed answering.

The build starts, as usual, with the assembly of the minifigures. Two are included in this set - Jango Fett and his young son, Boba. Both figures are unique to this set, at the time of writing, Jango in particular, being of special interest for the collector.
Jango uses the same jetpack and helmet mold found on the earlier adult Boba minifigure, but is silver instead of green. The helmet markings are painted on in black and two shades of blue. The helmet slips over a black head piece as before, but Jango's head piece is printed on one side with Jango's face. Remove the helmet/jetpack, twist the head, add the included black hair piece, and voila! You have a Jango Fett that can move around without all of his combat gear strapped on. A neat little touch.
Jango's Torso is grey with silver armour plates painted on. Very flash! His arms are purple!
This colour seems to have been added especially for the Jango Fett figure and the larger Technic model of Jango, released around the same time.
Jango's legs are also moulded in this new funky purple colour. A very unique mini figure, indeed.
The young Boba figure is less spectacular, legs and torso molded in baby blue, the torso having some detail paintwork to depict the tunic Boba wears.
Boba's legs are of the short, non posable type and his hair is of the long type, not often seen in the Star Wars Lego universe. It is molded in black, of course.

Moving on to the ship, and construction begins with the lower rear portion of the model where you are instantly introduced to a new part in a new colour - rounded slopes in dark blue!
As construction moves on there is some use of standard bricks in standard colours - bright reds, blues and yellows. These turn out to be hidden in later stages, so don't panic. This part of the build is in 16 stages and concentrates on the loading ramp and bomb bay doors. These are mounted on click hinges, so won't fall open willy nilly. Included here are 3 transparent orange globes (siesmic charges), more dark blue elements and even more new round slope pieces in another cool new colour - sand green!
The next stage deals with the lower front part of the ship and poses no problems in construction. Once again, plenty of dark blue and sand green slopes are used, as well as white slopes and round bricks.
This front section then connects to the back section to form the overall base of the model. Things are shaping up.
The next stage of construcion is fairly lengthy and deals with the bulk, center section. Here you are introduced to some Technic axles and two 10x1 Technic bricks. Along with a magnet, this little part of the construction seems to have no purpose, but lets move on.
This little section adds bracing to the conjoined front and rear sections you built earlier, and it is now apparent that the Technic axles will be used to attach the stabilizer wings. But what is that magnet for?
This middle section also contains the cockpit which is mounted on the Technic axles, so it can rotate with the stabilizer fins, thereby staying upright at all times. What's more, both figures will fit into this cockpit at the same time as there is plenty of room.
The rest of the middle section fills up with more bricks of various shapes and colours, including opening hatches which conceal hidden cannons.
At this stage, you end up with a rather non descript looking lump.

Moving on to the sides of the model and you are faced with a flimsy construction with the new slope pices in black, mounted vertically - two on each side of the ship.
Next up, you move briefly on to the underside of the ship and finally find out what that magnet is for. It seems Jango's Slave 1 comes complete with a prison cell. This is a box with hinged doors on either end. On top of the box sits a magnet. This small construction then slides into place inside the ship, from underneath, held by the other magnet.
This is a nice design which will add a lot of playability for younger collectors.

Moving back to the sides of the ship, and it is now time to build the stabilizer fins. These are nicely detailed, using a combination of basic bricks and plates, Technic, and what look like parts borrowed from Bionicles. I could be wrong. These are all moulded in the relevant colours - Tan mostly, with some greys and details in yellow.
You are instructed to build two of these, and they are then attached to big grey cones. The finished constructions then slide over the Technic axles, one either side of the model, between the flimsy upright black slopes. It actually looks very realistic, and shows how much attention to detail Lego have put in to this Slave 1, and shows that it the design really benefitted from the use of the newly designed bricks.

Moving to the underside of the craft, you are required to add seven exhaust ports and a large radar dish at the front. These also raise the craft off the ground a little and lift the prison cell clear so it is fully supported only by the magnet.

Topside again and it is time to add the tail end of Slave 1. This isn't just a block thrown together with only the absolute minimum number of bricks. Not a drop of imagination is wasted.
This top rear section contains storage compartments and an engine which is accessable via hinged service hatches either side. It also houses the four cannons which are mounted on plates with an axle underneath. Two cannons per plate. These then slot into a brick mounted either side of the tail. The cool thing is that these cannons don't swing freely, but click into place as you turn them. This allows you to line up the cannons perfectly either side, making for a much more eye catching model.
This tail construction then fits into place on top of the rear of the ship and to finish things off, a large one piece canopy in a transparent smokey colour sits over the front half of the ship.

Overall this is a very enjoyable ship to build with engaging instructions, up to Lego's usual high standards.
Only two things stand out in my mind as slight flaws. The first is the flimsy design of the stabilizer guards - the black upright slopes - which tend to fall off if the ship is held wrong. The other gripe is minor. Although the scale of the ship is better than that of the 2000 model, and the overall design is excellent and life like, I can't help but think that the ship is a little too short and stubby. It needs stretching out by a few studs just to give it a more balanced appearance.
Otherwise, this is an excellent model and well worth it's original price tag.

It is very cool, especially with my favorite character, Jango Fett .
I like Boba too,if you get set 7143 it is more fun! do not think about the prices if you see it get it! (ON EBAY)
Unfortunately, it breaks very easily.

Pros:

Jango
Boba
bombs
rockets
cockpit

Cons: (once again) It breaks very easily.
